(92 Points) An excellent 1978 (one of the top wines of the vintage), Pichon-Lalande's offering displays an aromatic profile consisting of roasted herbs, chocolate, cedar, tobacco, and ripe curranty fruit. Wine Advocate # 103, Feb 1996ġ978 Chateau Pichon Lalande Comtesse Pauillac For a 1975, Pichon-Lalande is doing a quick fade. I would opt for drinking it over the next 5-6 years. Medium-bodied, with some sweetness on the attack, the wine narrows out and tastes more compressed and compact after it sits in the glass for 5-10 minutes. Although the wine is beginning to dry out, it is still an excellent claret, with classic, cedary, curranty fruit, combined with herbs and spices. It exhibits a dusty, herbaceous side as it sits in the glass.

(88 Points) This wine reached full maturity early and has taken on an increasing amount of amber/orange. Wine Advocate # 105, Jun 1996ġ975 Chateau Pichon Lalande Comtesse Pauillac It may be fading more quickly than I would have thought. I have had better examples, but this wine has been fully mature for many years. The wine exhibited some vegetal, tobacco, cedary, blackcurrant scents, but on the palate the sweet fruit in the attack quickly dissipated to reveal acidity, tannin, and alcohol, as well as a tough finish. The color revealed considerable rust and amber. (88 Points) Based on this tasting, the 1970 Pichon-Lalande appears to be losing its fruit and is in decline.
